Michael Gira Crowd Control

neptune in seattle 2017, this guy was moshing everyone and being an idiot

[@fiddlesticks7468]

I like how he is almost offered to gira for some sort of divine judgment

[@augustportland]

That's me in the hat basically the dude slammed into me and I hit the stage monitor with my head and Michael saw that and confronted him. I was kinda dazed in that moment so it was surreal

[@lostmedia-e6p]

Michael Gira had your back, my man

[@philistineswine]

Gira moment

[@KOOL_AID_KID]

Gira’s like a good teacher, kind and friendly but stern when he needs to be

[@Dreadmoth]

His 80s soul came out for a bit

[@rleeroberts6350]

IN HIS HEAD HE HEARD...BE HARD !!!

[@sample2090]

I know the guy deserves it but oh my lord that is terrifying i would probably cry if i was standing next to that fr

[@zachary-schmidt]

He spilled his beer on me, thank you uncle Mike

[@BillyCrawshrimp]

that guy stole my lunch in 3rd grade

[@redsalinas4354]

😂😂😂

[@jglovehart9021]

I’m so glad there’s video of this, I was right up front when it happened. I was getting ready to punch the guy until pastor Gira taught him a lesson

[@haleywilson520]

Pastor Gira 😂

[@rleeroberts6350]

Pastor gira....timeless 🤘

[@Victor-qj7tw]

i love how so much of the actions are in sync with the music lmao

[@PolicemanPlanet]

dude straight up grabbed his head like it was nothing i would love to kiss him

[@-roejogan-]

It looked like he force pulled him over

[@ryanmasterman4120]

His temper is legendary. He used to stomp on people's fingers if they touched the stage physically confront people who were "headbanging" at his concerts.

[@RickBobO]

Sorry, I might be misunderstanding. Are you saying he disapproves of headbanging? live footage seems to show a large percentage of the crowd headbanging. I mean, what else do you do to such heavy repetitive songs?

[@fiddlesticks7468]

@@RickBobOhe used to apparently. Probably still finds it silly but that’s also coming from a guy that dances like Charles Manson so who cares

[@moontrees10]

@@RickBobO Back in the 80s, he used to hate things like pogoing and headbanging at his shows because he felt those were poseur acts from people who just showed up to act cool and ruin everyone's mood. But it has been like 40 years since then, and now he just hate it when someone is starting to act like an idiot and being disrespectul with everyone else, like the guy in the video.

[@err0rc0degames]

Dude must tell people now "I once got my hair pulled by Michael Gira!"

[@billkormas3460]

god i wish that was me

[@SinewRending]

*I remember this. A lovely moment in a lovely evening.*

[@Tandle779]

lol, you can see me behind the bald dude with the hat, second head to the left. bizarre moment, I felt a lot closer to it somehow

[@jonfischer2203]

Gira is cool as fuck...

[@Obviousthrowawayaccount]

I love how he just walked into it

[@tomauberwenig2116]

"I swear I saw Mickael Gira bend reality to catch an a-hole, and even when he pulls someone's hair, he manages to rock it. And He kept playing. With both hands, while scalping the dude!" "come on, that's not even possible!!" "... It's the Swans, man... Never underestimate the Swans."

[@guitarylife3062]

Is that Anthony fantano rocking a Mohawk?!
